Did you all have fun with the contest last week? I did! Well, I had fun making up the questions and then reading all the answers. I was pleased to see how many people gave it a go. Hopefully next time there will be even more. Here are the answers to the questions and the Soduko, just in case you didn’t get all of them.
Here is a picture of the completed Sudoku.
Here are the questions and answers for the quiz portion of the contest …

6. What color knitting technique from question 1 or 2 CANNOT be done in the round and why? (And no Anne and Antoinette, that does not count as 2 questions ;-)).
A – Intarsia – when you’re doing it in the round you will end up leaving the tail of the color at the end of the color block. When you come back around, you won’t be able to reach it! Try it to see what I mean. There have been some innovations lately though and there may be a way to do this. I’ll do some research and let you know in a future post.
7. On what date was the first post about introducing color into your knitting?
A – September 21st
8. What are the three Primary colors, Secondary colors, and six Tertiary colors (you’ll have to do a bit of research for this one – at least for the last part).
A – primary: yellow, blue, red secondary: green, orange, violet tertiary: red-orange, orange-yellow, yellow-green, blue-green, violet-blue, red-violet
9. Define Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary as they pertain to colors on the color wheel.
A – Primary – colors that cannot be made by mixing the other colors Secondary – Colors obtained by mixing two primary colors Tertiary – Colors obtained by mixing a primary and secondary hue.
